Kannada cinema star Yash’s fans want 16 July 2021 to be declared a national holiday. The reason? The day is when KGF: Chapter 2 releases this year.
The highly-anticipated release date of KGF: Chapter 2 was recently announced by the makers and the star himself. The sequel to the blockbuster Kannada gangster-drama KGF, Chapter 2 stars Yash and Srinidhi Shetty, along with Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon in pivotal roles.
Director Prashanth Neel took to Twitter to announce the release date. He wrote, “#KGFChapter2 Worldwide Theatrical Release On July 16th, 2021. #KGFChapter2onJuly16”
In another post, Yash tweeted a poster from the upcoming instalment and wrote: “Fasten your seat belt coz the date is set..” Posted on January 29, Yash’s tweet garnered several thousand retweets and “likes” across the microblogging site Twitter.

But the excitement among the fans had only kicked in. A super fan of Yash went a notch up and penned a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi humbly requesting the PM to declare 16 July a national holiday on the release day of KGF: Chapter 2.
With a subject line: “Declare National Holiday on 16/07/2021 Friday”, the letter read: “As we all know the most expected Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2 releasing on 16/7/2021 Friday. People are eagerly waiting for the movie, so we are requesting you to declare a national holiday. Try to understand our feelings. It’s not just a movie it’s our emotion.”
Shared by a Twitter user who goes by the handle @styles_rocking, the letter soon started doing the rounds of social media. As the Yash fan army amplified the letter on Twitter, many others tweeted directly at Modi appealing the PM to consider their request.

KGF: Chapter 2 was initially scheduled to release on October 23, 2020. However, due to the Coronavirus induced lockdown, the shoot was halted and the release date had to be postponed.
The film’s Hindi rights have been bought by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment, whereas Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran will distribute the film in Kerala. KGF Chapter 2 has been produced by Vijay Kirgandur.
